Blackreach (Skyrim)

Major bugs: 3 • Minor bugs: 2 • Notes: 1

Major Bugs

 * Casting Fireball on a Falmer can cause the game to crash.
 * Lifts to the surface can sometimes freeze the game on the loading screen to where you can only use the quick-load function.
 * This was supposed to be fixed by the Official Skyrim Patch but some people may still experience the bug (v1.6).
 * (XBOX) A potential fix for if it happens is to press the guide button right after the loading screen disappears and before it reappears.
 * (PC) This bug can be prevented by temporarily disabling the autosave on travel feature while using the lifts.
 * (PC) Two potential fixes if it happens are:
 * Repeatedly press Q to open the favorites menu.
 * Press tilde to open the console, wait 5 to 10 seconds and then press tilde again.
 * You can get permanently stuck in a Falmer hut at the southwest end of Blackreach because the collision around the door will let you enter but not exit. Falmer spawning within the hut will also suffer the same fate.
 * It is possible to get out if you execute a cinematic kill on a nearby Falmer.
 * Werewolf players can alternatively enter Beast Form to get out as well.

Places

 * Alchemist's Field Laboratory • Debate Hall • Derelict Pumphouse • Farm Overseer's House • Hall of Rumination • Pumping Station • Reeking Tower • Silent City Catacombs • Silent Ruin • War Quarters

Quests

 * None.

Minor Bugs

 * Followers can get stuck on the stairs leading up to the Alchemist's Field Laboratory.
 * Using the wait feature or using the shout Fus Ro Dah on them can fix this.
 * Conjuration summons will usually spawn at a different side of your character than where you intend, sometimes even above or below them if you're in an area with different vertical levels.
 * Using one of the exits and then immediately returning can cause Blackreach to have sunshine and weather just like exterior locations.

Fixed

 * Unknown. Otherwise: "None" or something like "No bug fixes have been necessary."
